cell part 2 Flashcards
nuclei
control center of the cell
separates DNA and RNA
DNA controls all functions of the cells
number of nuclei in a cell
most cells have one nucleus from the exception of muscle cells which can have many and mature RBc/s have none.
parts of the nucleus
chromatin inside (detangled strands from chromosomes)
around it is the nuclear envelop
along the nuclear envelop is are the nuclear pores
endoplasmic reticulum is attaches to it
and polyribosomes
genes
code for specific proteins
genome
we have 23 pairs of chromosomes
ribosomes
combined a large subunit and a small subunit to form a functional complete ribosome. ribosome aligns the mRNA with the tRNA forming a protein
free ribosomes
proteins for inside use
attached ribosomes
membrane or secretory proteins
ER (endoplasmic reticulum)
helps store newly synthesize molecules (proteins)
surface are for chemical reaction
transport molecules to various parts of the cell
Rough ER
helps with the packaging and storage of proteins and forms glycogen. produces secretory membrane
Smooth ER
synthesis fatty acids, phospholipids and steroids and detoxifies various chemical. If you have to synthesis more Lipids then the smooth ER is bigger
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
this is for muscle cell, helps to sequester Ca+ ions for contraction
golgi apparatus ( complex)
receives proteins and lipids in vesicles, helps package and store them, help them in packaging them more complex
Lysosomes
- )digest bacteria and other substances from phagocytosis vesicles.
- ) recycles membrane components from endosomes
- ) autophagy- digesting of old organelles
- ) autolysis- eating own cell host after death of the cell (disease)
- ) digest of debris and then fuses with membrane to expulse that out of the cell
peroxisomes
smaller than lysosomes
contain two enzymes to help detoxify the cell from toxic substances.
they also have the ability to replicate themselves
